Many generalised skin conditions that affect other parts of the body, including eczema and psoriasis, may be encountered on the vulva but some conditions, sometimes called vulval dystrophies, only affect the vulva.

Infections such as thrush have been discussed elsewhere (vaginal infections). Infections of hair follicles (folliculitis boils) can lead to abscess formation. Seborrhoeic eczema of the vulva is usually seen in combination with dandruff of the scalp. Eczema can be aggravated by chemicals added to bath water including oils and perfumes. a Queous cream or another soap substitute may provide relief. Mild local corticosteroid creams, which may contain antifungal agents, are frequently used to suppress symptoms.
